#16: Urology Resident Interview - Lifestyle, Competition, and Hospital Interactions

Halle grew up in Minneapolis, MN and went to undergrad at St. Olaf College, a small liberal arts school about an hour south of the Twin Cities. She went to Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI and ultimately matched out in Philadelphia at TJUH for my urology residency. She graduated summa cum laude from St. Olaf and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. In medical school she was in AOA. She studied abroad twice in undergrad and recently went on a pediatric urology medical mission trip to Amman, Jordan.

Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 USA 🇺🇸 Urologist resident Hayley Fost or doctor her surname was difficult to hear. Zach Highleys listening skills are usually accurate. As a for sensitive questions of the female and male anatomy are that sensitive. Hayley pick up each question and answered enough for me to be convinced of her field knowledge sounds unbeatable. Very focused young woman. That Zach sounds crazy about. Well this mornings view that a podcast for me is all new. Working 47years 10-11years as a home supporter, Caregiver for my mum. Thank goodness for medicine and those like Hayley Fost❤❤❤❤❤😊

RN (and also premed) here - we place coude caths all the time. Urology does SO much most people have no idea about. Only have seen Urology place a couple very difficult caths bedside due to what we call extreme "turtle-ing" 😅
